Description

As a .NET developer, you ought to know how to architect and test your applications - not only do these skills make you a more advanced developer, but they also help you build better apps. In this course, Become a Full-stack .NET Developer - Architecture and Testing, you'll learn how to do just that. This course is the third part of the "Become a Full-stack .NET Developer" series. In the previous two parts, you built a real-world mini social networking application for live music lovers. In this final part, you'll finish off the remaining use cases, modularize JavaScript code, and then refactor your application towards a clean, decoupled, and testable architecture. Next, you'll learn about programming against interfaces, and finally you'll write unit and integration tests for various moving parts. By the end of this course, you'll be able to create highly testable apps with better architecture, and you'll be one step closer to being a full-stack .NET developer.

Transcript

Hi everyone, my name is Mosh Hamedani and welcome to the third part of my course Become a Full-stack .NET Developer

I am a software engineer and author with 15 years of professional experience.

The demand for full-stack developers who are comfortable with both front-end and back-end development is increasing constantly, and in fact, some companies only hire full-stack developers.

This part is all about architecture and unit testing.

Some of the major topics that we will cover include:

Dependency inversion principle

Repository and unit of work patterns

Clean architecture, and

Unit and integration tests

This part is packed with advanced concepts and techniques, and I believe if you watch all the videos and do the exercises, by the end of this part you’re going to go from an intermediate-level developer to a senior developer.

Before beginning this course, ideally you should have watched the first two parts because there I’ve covered a lot of concepts and techniques. So if you’re new to this series, you may wonder why I’ve done things in a certain way, or you may think I’m coding too fast. If that’s case, then you really need to go back and start from the first part. Also, you should be familiar with unit testing. At least you should have gone through one tutorial and be familiar with assertions and mocking. In this part I’ll show you the proper way to write unit and integration tests for your ASP.NET MVC applications.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey to learn full-stack development with Become a Full-stack .NET Developer course, at Pluralsight.
